Welcome Back
Daddy was gone again this weekend, and Ben and Anna weren't happy about it.
Cousins Zack, Dylan, and Mary Jordan were being dedicated in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Daddy drove up to see them. It was about a 900 mile trip in 36 hours, and it meant that Daddy was gone from noon on Saturday until bedtime on Sunday. Ben and Anna both told Daddy not to go.
When Daddy got back on Sunday night, Ben was waiting at the door, respendent in long PJs and his puppy slippers. He was so excited to see Daddy. Daddy had to carry him around until long after his bedtime. Daddy looked in on Anna, but she was going to bed. She just smiled at him and rolled over.
Ben and Daddy talked all about the things that Ben had doen that day. Daddy told Ben about visiting with Gigi and Daddy Wayne. Ben was worried that Daddy Wayne had had to put up the flag without Ben's help. Daddy then made Ben his special "tea" made with 3 parts iced tea, 1 part orange/pineapple juice, two drops of lemon juice, and one package of Splenda sweenter. Ben only drank a little of it before time for bed, and we put the rest into the refrigerator to save.
Ben couldn't stop hugging Daddy and Daddy couldn't stop hugging Ben. It's really hard to travel so much, but it sure makes coming home wonderful.
This morning, Ben and Anna both told Daddy not to go to work - to stay home and play with them. Daddy has to go to work, but maybe not on time today.
